Albion Stone plc

Albion Stone has long mineral extraction leases covering all the Crown Estate's Stone reserves on Portland . These mines and quarries yield a full range of Portland Stones; Roach, Whitbed and Basebed. Portland Stone is eminently suitable for use as a superior cladding material for commercial buildings.

Portland Stone has been used for building for many centuries, and has proved to be a very strong and durable material. As the design of buildings and methods of construction have changed, methods of using Portland Stone have had to keep pace. Traditionally, Portland Stone was used either on its own or combined with brick masonry as the main structural element of many large and well known buildings throughout the UK. The size of the individual stone units used was often controlled by the brick masonry backing, ensuring that the bed joints lined through.
